Manticore spares ?
Postby Ronin on 2012-05-22, 10:58:02 am
I've bought a Mantra Turntable in bits .Does anyone know were I can get Manticore Mantra turntable spares.
I was wondering if I should replace the rubber bushes. They are intact but looking a little worn , cracked / perished.
And, is there anything I should know about setting-up the suspension. I assume that the platter needs to be level , is that all there is to it?..
Infact ! I would appreciate any advice on how to assemble a suspension design .
I've read some scary stories about how difficult it is, and it should be left to the professionals but,I only payed £25 for the deck and I've been quoted £150+ for a turntable set-up, plus I'll need to ship it both ways.
Surely it can't be that difficult
Cheers,
Ronin

Contact Stuart at http://stores.ebay.co.uk/SRM-TECH-Audio-Products?_rdc=1 he is a personal friend of the designer and did have some spares.

I hope you don't mind I've copied and pasted my question from the other subjectivist forum.
Just an up-date for any one who's interested.
I couldn't get any bushes to suit ( learnt quite a bit about rubber though ) so,I sourced some off another Mantra.
You can get the belt & bearing oil from SRM/Tech .
I've re-assembled the Turntable and sprayed it a Bright Red just to brighten things up a bit.
Now I'm looking for a suitable Tonearm (secondhand).
Any suggestions,I was thinking about a Linn lvx plus.I'm not to keen on the Rega's,they sound a little bland to me (dull ).
Appreciate any suggestions.
If anyone needs any help with setting up a mantra then give me a shout.I'll do my best to help out.
Once up and running,I'll have a go at a review of this deck or just give my opinion.
Cheers,
Ronin
